Evanston, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06819007RecruitingPhase 3
Study of trastuzumab deruxtecan plus bevacizumab for HER2-positive ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether adding trastuzumab deruxtecan to standard maintenance therapy with bevacizumab works better than bevacizumab alone for people with advanced ovarian cancer that has the HER2 protein. It is for those who have finished initial chemotherapy plus bevacizumab and are now starting maintenance treatment.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05974150Recruiting
Remote symptom monitoring for several blood and cancer types

What taking part in a ovarian cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
